Chapter 160 I think a military academy can be built
Li Niandao: "We start with what the soldiers can learn. To make the soldiers read and write, it is not to let them read any book or learn any book, but to make them read and learn any book." The soldiers know the king, Know your country and your family.”
“Know that this land has given birth to them, know that your family needs their protection, and let them understand that they are fighting not only for the king and the country, but also for themselves and their country. family fight "
"If the country is destroyed, the family will not survive. Their parents and brothers will be slaughtered by the enemy, and their wives, daughters and sisters will be humiliated by the enemy. They fight to protect the country and protect the Wei family, protecting their parents, brothers, and wives, daughters and sisters. .”
“In addition, I believe that appropriate preferential treatment and honors should be given to the soldiers to stimulate their sense of honor and make more people willing to join the army. If the Qin Dynasty can unify the world, the Qin soldiers are indispensable.”
With Da Qin's current productivity, it would be difficult to give more preferential treatment to the soldiers, but if it was about honor, it would not be difficult.
“I propose that we build a monument to the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and engrave the names of the Qin soldiers who died in battle or who performed meritorious service on it, and set a certain day of the year for the ceremony. Remember his achievements and pass them on to future generations."
After answering Wei Liao's question, Li Nian continued to answer Wang Jian's question.
“As for Wang Shangshu’s question, ‘If soldiers are literate and understand the art of war, what if they also want to be generals?’, someone in the west of my hometown once said, ‘Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers.’ , If a soldier has the ability to become a general, it is a blessing to His Majesty and a blessing to the Qin Dynasty. So what if he is allowed to become a general? "
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier?
Although I don't know where Li Nian's hometown is and who said this, many ministers repeated this sentence in their hearts. This sentence is really suitable for Da Qin.
Because the Qin Dynasty’s military merit system encouraged soldiers to kill the enemy. By relying on military merit, they could obtain titles and be promoted to generals.
Wang Jian nodded and smiled and said: "This is just what I want to say to my great Qin!"
Li Nian said again: "This is actually the second thing I want to say to your majesty. I propose to set up a The military academy trains generals for our Qin Dynasty. Although the military merit system can also be selected. Outstanding generals are selected, but when there is no war, it is difficult for even the most talented generals to appear. "
Ying Zheng also thought of something at this time. During the reign of Qin II, Chen Shengjun was about to attack Xianyang, and not only did he fail. The soldiers were not generals yet, so Zhang Han was finally asked to lead a group of prisoners into battle.
Zhang Han was the Shaofu Qing at that time and was not a regular Qin general. Although Zhang Han led troops to fight quite well and became a famous general in the late Qin Dynasty, this showed that the generals of the Qin Dynasty were withering at that time.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben retired and returned to their hometown, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were killed one after another, leaving only Zhang Han, Wang Li and others to support the Qin Dynasty...
Thinking of Zhang Han, Ying Zheng felt strange in his heart , I wonder what else Zhang Han’s pilot test can do?
Anyway, he is not optimistic about it now, because Da Qin has changed too much now, which will definitely affect Zhang Han's pilot project.
Kicking Zhang Han's incident out of his mind, Ying Zheng thought about what Li Nian said about establishing a military academy. If a military academy was established, a group of generals would be trained as a reserve.
Although these people have not been truly baptized by war and are far from real generals, it is still better than having the enemy attack outside the city and have no generals available.
The eyes of many Qin generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Tian fell on Li Nian, but this time they were not all with good intentions.
Because once Li Nian's advice to the military academy is adopted by His Majesty, their descendants will lose a great advantage. Li Nian can be said to be poaching the future of their descendants.
Their nephews could have easily become Qin generals and gained high promotions by virtue of their merits and family inherited military skills.
After all, most people are illiterate and do not know the art of war, so Your Majesty has no other candidates. But if His Majesty adopts Li Nian's advice and builds the Nashizi Military Academy so that more people can go to that Military Academy to learn literacy, learn the art of war, and train them to become generals, then His Majesty will have more choices.
At the same time, it also means that their nephews have no advantage, and they are competing with so many people, and their nephews may not be able to stand out from them.
Li Nian seemed not to notice these glances and continued: "After the establishment of the military academy, His Majesty will be the principal. Generals and veterans of the Qin Dynasty can be admitted to the school to teach the art of war, how to detect the enemy's situation, how to survey the terrain, and how to identify the map. Wait.”
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Nian and lowered his gaze. He went to the Qin generals headed by Wang Jian and asked: "What does the old general think of this military academy?"
Seeing Ying Zheng's eyes falling, how could Wang Jian not know that Ying Zheng had already adopted Li Nian's advice in his heart? , asking him now, just let him take the lead and say on behalf of the generals of Qin, "We also agree with this advice."
Wang Jian said: "I think Li Shangshu's words are very good, and building that military academy will be very beneficial to the Qin Dynasty! Although I am old, I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty and teach the art of war in the military academy."
After hearing Wang Jian's words, many Qin generals were quite dissatisfied, but Wang Jian, who had the highest merit and the most senior qualifications, said so, and His Majesty clearly wanted to listen to Li Nian, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Wang Jian was really able to spend a lot of money and took the initiative to teach the art of war in the military academy.
Generally speaking, the military skills of generals like Wang Jian are passed down from family to family, and are only passed down to the closest nephews in the family.
It is not just the concept of leading troops and the method of arranging troops, but also includes many detailed and useful battlefield experiences such as setting up camp, identifying directions, finding enemy weaknesses, finding water sources, arranging logistics supplies, etc. It's not just a few words: "Soldiers are deceitful."
It was basically an encyclopedia summarizing Wang Jian's experience in leading troops in combat, but this encyclopedia was handed over directly by Wang Jian.
Other Qin generals were still thinking, and another voice came: "My minister Meng Tian is also willing to teach the art of war in the military academy!"
Meng Tian became the second Qin general to support Li Nian's proposal to build a military academy.
At this time, the other Qin generals realized that they couldn't stop this, so why not get involved?
Unfortunately, the first place was taken by Wang Jian, and the second place was taken by Meng Tian. Now it is too late for them to voice their support.
Seeing that all the Qin generals were speaking out in support, Ying Zheng said: "Since you all have no objections, then the matter will be settled like this. Li Nian, since you proposed it, the matter will be decided by you. The old general and Wei Qing will follow "
Obviously he is the minister of the Ministry of Education, but he can still intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of War. Everyone can see that this Li Nian is really trusted by the king. Not only can he give advice across departments, but he can also Interdepartmental officer.
Hearing this, Wei Miao's eyes lit up. He was looking for an opportunity to chat with Li Nianduo. Didn't this opportunity come? Although he is asked to assist Li Nian, what does that matter?
Wang Jian was also very curious about Li Nian, so he agreed without refusing.
Seeing the three people taking orders, Ying Zheng asked again: "Is there anything else you think you should add?"
Li Nian nodded and said: "I thought I could give Qin soldiers a surname..."
Speaking of this, Li Nian came up with an idea. After thinking about it quickly in his mind, he felt that this idea might be feasible, so he changed it. After explaining the law, he said: "I thought that your majesty could establish a surname and give it to all people in the world!"
